    Saudi Arabia executes woman for machete killing

    Saudi Arabia executed an Indonesian woman in Makkah on Saturday for killing a Saudi woman, the official Saudi Press Agency reported, citing a statement from the Interior Ministry.

    Ruyati Saruna confessed to killing Khairiyah Majlad with a machete, the news service said. A royal decree was issued for the execution after the conviction was upheld by the court of cassation and the Supreme Court, the news service said.

    Saudi Arabia, a G-20 member, is an absolute monarchy that adheres to a strict version of Islam.

    Homosexuality is illegal and the kingdom’s courts often sentence people to death by public beheading for crimes such as rape, murder and drug trafficking.

    The government of King Abdullah “is keen on the preservation of security,” the news service said, citing the Interior Ministry statement.

    “Anyone who attacks the secured people and sheds their blood” will be punished according to religious law, it said.

    Amnesty International on June 10 urged Saudi Arabia to halt the use of the death penalty after a “significant increase” in executions this year.

    At least 27 people have been executed in the kingdom this year, the same number as for all of 2010, Amnesty said in a statement on its website. Fifteen people were executed in May alone, the London-based rights group said.

    The number of executions had been declining, dropping to at least 69 people in 2009 from about 102 people the year before and 158 people in 2007, according to Amnesty.

    Saudi beheads 3 Nigerians for murder

    Saudi Arabia on Sunday beheaded three Nigerians accused of murdering and robbing a fellow citizen, the interior ministry said in a statement carried by the official SPA news agency.



    Mohammed Ismail, Abdulqudus Adam and Mohammed Kabir Ali broke into the house of Omar Mohammed Adam where "they beat him and his wife, tied them down and strangled Omar to death," said the statement.



    Then they burgled their compatriot's home, it added.



    The beheadings in the western Red Sea city of Jeddah brings the number of executions in the ultra-conservative kingdom this year to 31, according to an AFP tally based on official and human rights group reports.



    On June 10, London-based watchdog Amnesty International called on Saudi Arabia to stop applying the death penalty, saying there had been a significant rise in the number of executions in the previous six weeks.



    It said 15 people were executed in May alone.



    In 2009, the number of executions reached 67, compared to 102 in 2008.



    Rape, murder, apostasy, armed robbery and drug trafficking are all punishable by death under Saudi Arabia's strict interpretation of Islamic sharia law.

    The one good thing i see about Middle Eastern justice, is they don't allow people to sit on DR for a long period of time, if they are found guilty, then justice is served in a pretty quick manner......
